Obstruction Pass State Park

Nestled on the eastern shores of Orcas Island, Obstruction Pass State Park offers a serene escape into the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This coastal gem provides a tranquil setting for campers looking to immerse themselves in the lush, forested landscapes and scenic water views that define the San Juan Islands. Its secluded atmosphere makes it a unique destination for those seeking a quiet retreat away from the more heavily trafficked tourist areas.

The campground is primarily suited for tent and car camping, offering a rustic experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Because the park features primitive conditions with no utility hookups, it is best enjoyed by visitors who appreciate a minimalist approach to camping and are prepared for a self-sufficient stay. The site is beginner-friendly, providing an accessible entry point for those new to the Washington State Park system.

Located just a few miles from the community of Olga, the park serves as an ideal base for explorers looking to enjoy the surrounding island geography. Whether you are planning a quick getaway or a longer excursion, the year-round availability allows for flexible trip planning throughout the seasons.
